<dt><big><b class="mainheading">What is it?</b></big>
    <dd>This property is a strange and very specific Microsoft beast. Microsoft,
        beginning in Windows 2000, has the ability to turn off its system
        underlines for accelerator keys until the ALT key is pressed (then the
        accelerator underline hint is displayed.) This property should have no
        effect in previous Microsoft OS versions, and if this system capability
        is turned off (or "on", depending on how you look at it), it will also
        have no effect.
        <br><br>

        While this works for underlined elements (the HTML "U" element), it
        also seems to work for any element, although a different pseudo-underline
        color seems to be generated in such cases.
